Ocean Terminal

You all know how much I love to shop, and usually it's in cold, wet, windy Glasgow. The past couple of days though, I've been in Edinburgh training. Ocean Terminal shopping centre is right by the Executive so I hit the shops in my lunch.
Oh, and I used to work here in the Royal Yacht Britannia visitor centre! The royal yacht is berthed just behind this building.

Riding the Bus

While in Edinburgh, you gotta take the bus! Hmmm, pity nobody else did lol. Look how quiet it is!!

Mittens on the Bed

My other wee Edinburgh boy, Mittens, keeping me company in the spare room at my Mum and Dad's. I was through training at the Scottish Executive HQ and, well, he misses his Mummy...

Jazz's Cupboard

He's the smallest member of our family but seems to have the most stuff! This is the inside of Jazz's cupboard in the kitchen. Three big tubs of dried food, treats, bowls, forks, and more packets of food than he knows what to do with lol. Can't have him getting bored now, can we? :o)
Oh, and in case you're wondering, the wolf cookie jar has some treats in it. When you open it the wolf howls and he runs to it! So cute!!!

Wedding Souvenirs

This is our Wedding display. :o)
Top shelf: Lovely glasses we were given, place cards, a boxed Wedding charm from Derek's Parents and an adorable Tatty Teddy ornament Derek bought me a few years ago.
Middle shelf: The Tatty Teddy ornament on the top of our Wedding cake, Wedding photo in a frame my Sisiter gave us, Bride and Groom pens from my cousin Robert and his Wife Lorraine, favour, ornament from Mum and Dad and a horseshoe from Robert and Lorraine.
Bottom shelf: Willow Tree ornament from Derek's Sister, Disney Wedding frame we bought on Honeymoon, glass placemats we were given, and some more Disney bits and pieces we bought on Honeymoon.

My Wonderful Husband

When I was on Flickr uploading a load of photos, I discovered a wonderful concept which I'd never really thought about experimenting with, but today I did! And here's the end result!! I LOVE IT!!!!! :o)
Derek loves the kitchen - it's "his" room - and I think this shot shows beautifully how he can do three things at once! ;o) So any requests?

Fancy a Cuppa?

How's this for random?? Hahaha. Our favourite mugs. :o) Mine, a Starbucks one naturally *lol*, that Alison bought me. Derek's one, a Disneyand Paris one I bought him a few years ago on holiday.
They're sitting on our coffee bar shelf from Ikea - works so well!
Look closely and you'll see me in the kettle!

Bright and Colourful

On my way into work this morning I was trying to decide what to post as today's photo. It was pouring with rain and I wasn't in the mood at all, but when I got into work it hit me. The bright colours of my shoes, bag and scarf made my office glow! So I thought I'd share! :o)

The Disney Shelves

Here we have two shelves in our dining room. They're very festive at the moment with the gold beads, starry candles and glittery trees. And yes, before you ask, I stuck them on one by one with blu-tak! Lol.
The wooden tulips are from Amsterdam and in a champagne bottle given to us by my Mum and Dad on our engagement. You're not seeing things - the clock does have Mickey Mouse ears lol. We got a little carried away on Honeymoon hahaha. The frame and shell mouse are from Barbados (that's Derek and Madaijah in the photo!) and finally that's a cheesy pic of us in Florida at the far end. :o)

Maisie and the Snowmen

Meet my DCUK (Duck Company UK) Maisie! Derek bought her for me for Christmas. Ain't she adorable? She seems to like living by the fire -amazing how the snowmen aren't melting though! :oP

Some other bits and pieces you can see in the photo...
- Jazz's purple ball.
- Sand-filled frog from Barbados.
- Derek's PS2 and Pro Evolution Soccer 5.
- Santa's train ornament in front of the TV.
- Some needles off the Christmas tree lol.

Christmas Tree Decorations

These are some of our Christmas tree decorations. Most are the traditional coloured ones but we have some special ones too including glass angels (symbolises special friends and relatives), felt stockings and mittens (Socks and Mittens), a wee snowman playing a trumpet (Jazz), Mickey and Minnie (Honeymoon) and a fairy made of shells (from Barbados.)
Awww, we're so sentimental! :o)

Socks in a Bag

Here's my wee boy Socks hiding out in a carrier bag... Don't ask... It's just what he does lol.
